Literally got chills from this multiple times. As much as the author hates the word "relatable," Its Lonely is definitely relatable. Not in its entirety, but the things that we learn from the past and the struggle with mental illness are so well reflected in this autobio. The art is impeccable and beautiful, too. So glad I picked this up!!

Hell yeah clown eggs. Read this with a fellow librarian in one shift, loved it! Loved showing them the world of funny clown eggs. Wish we could get a new register every like 5 years. Love them clowns.

Grabbed this book as a part of my pride display for my library. Startd flipping through it and, first page, found out that Stuart was an enby from Ky-- just like me frfr. So I read it and a lot of the things were so helpful, and it was so good to see someone with a similar stance on things to put them into words. I've been reccomending this to so many people because it really encases how I feel about my gender and such. It also sheds light on how to get used to using they/them, some history of thems, and overall just really good information to know and understand. The lightheartedness makes it so much easier to read, too! The only reason I'm not giving it 5 stars is because im picky I guess? Some of the diagrams were confusing, there were some parts I personally skimmed through because I have just heard them so many times. That doesn't make it any less valid, though!

I love Barney so much. I picked this up after watching the show, Paranormal Park, and finding out that it wasn't getting a second season. I debated skipping to the second book, but I am SO glad I didn't. Don't get me wrong, I love the animated series, I ALSO love this book as a whole. Its a lot different, but in a wonderful way. Honestly, if you love this, watch the series, but don't expect the same thing. If you loved the animation, read the books, its also not the same but still good and loveable. There are things that they couldn't say in the animation that so much needed to be said, needed to be a part of the plot. I just loved this a lot and I am so glad I got to read it!

Damn, that was fascinating. This was short and horrificly sweet. I reccomend checking it out for a quick read any time. Though, some of the parts are hard to stomach.
